Stretch wrapping might not be the flashiest part of your packaging line, but it’s one of the most important. If your pallets aren’t stable, everything you invested in bagging and palletizing is at risk. A single damaged pallet during shipping can wipe out the profit from an entire order.
Why Load Stability Matters
- Product Safety: Proper wrapping keeps bags from shifting and tearing.
- Customer Satisfaction: No one wants pallets arriving leaning or collapsed.
- Compliance: Many distributors and retailers require wrapped loads that meet specific standards.
- Cost Savings: Stable pallets mean fewer product returns and less wasted material.
Manual vs. Automated Stretch Wrapping
Some plants still rely on hand-wrapping pallets with rolls of film. It’s inconsistent, labor-intensive, and wasteful. Automated stretch wrappers deliver consistent tension, overlap, and coverage—every time.
Key Features of NOVA Stretch Wrappers
- Pre-Stretch Film Carriages: Reduce film use while maintaining strength.
- Variable Wrapping Programs: Adjust for different load types and stability requirements.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to handle high-volume, industrial environments.
